...hello everyone, hope you've all had a happy crafting weekend...today I'm sharing with you my take on Tim's Tag for June...it's going to be a brief posting as my weekend has been most eventful and I'm way behind, a Son with a 2 day temperature of 40' a weird rash & a trip to the Hospital, then lots of nursing the good old fashioned way of cooling flannels...gosh even at the age of 25 the worry continue's...anyways here is my Tag...

...I admit this tag was very rushed & could of been a lot better but inbetween paracetamo'ls & mop downs time and my energy were little so lots of improvisation again and the name plate is actually fine grade sand paper! as is the tiny tab, I make use of everything I can...

...thankyou for dropping by today, a big hello to my new followers...have a wonderful week everyone, & enjoy what your doing where ever you are...

Morning Mel,Love the tag, you've captured the Timmie look perfectly.Hope your son's feeling better - they're never too old to worry about are they! It sounds like he has what my grandson had at the beginning of last week, there's a lot of it about. Have a great week, love Linda x

Fabulous tag mel! Hope your son is on the mend! I don't think the worry ever stops! My son is 16 this year and he is going on a football trip on Thursday for 4 days - Me worried! He'll have a fabulous time! I know exactly what you mean!

Mel, your tag is fabulous! Consider the constraints you had this weekend and the improvisation, you have done an amazing take on Tim's tag. Sandpaper (!?!) - wow, it looks amazing. I love the whole thing. Hope your Son has much improved today, they never stop being a worry.........even into their 40s. Crafty hugs, Anne x

Hope your son is on the mend. I love that you say 'flannel'. Where I live that is not a common word, I find myself explaining what I am talking about quite often.It was passed to me by my mother.Her Mom and Grandmother used the term.Fun tag work. Hope your week is good too.

Gosh, that must have been such a worry Mel, hope your son is ok now! Can't believe how you found time to make this gorgeous tag... hoping to join in with Tim's challenge myself before the end of JuneAlison xox

Mel, Fabulous take on Tim's June tag! Great touch with the old word page behind the picture! I have not started! Hope your son is feeling better! We always worry about our children at any age! Have fun!

Oh Mel. Sounds like you've been up to your eyes in it. Hope things are improving now with the little one. They look so helpless at that age.As for your tag, well it is lovely. Great idea with the sandpaper. I think we are all having to improvise with these - it's good to see how everyone does this. Thanks for all your lovely comments too. Hugs, Buttons x
